This is the second time we've visited sprowston manor for afternoon tea and again the service and food was fantastic!! Great value! 2 of our party of 4 had hadn't experienced afternoon tea before but we're very impressed. We will all be visiting in January and are thinking of making it a regular thing.

Multiple food allergies so left a message on the booking page to reflect this with requests for certain foods to be left out. This was checked by staff when I arrived and alternatives added. Previously I have sat in the main restaurant for afternoon tea, but this time we were shown to the small dining area off the bar which was better as dining room is large if not many people in there and small area reflects the intimacy of afternoon tea. An hour slot was just long enough to eat and we weren't rushed out as tables not full, although I'm sure we still wouldn't have been if they had been fully booked, but may be better if able to book an hour and a half. Third time I've been this year and will definitely go again.

Slow service to start with. Thought we'd been forgotten. Once served, all very good. Sandwiches could be a little more exciting considering the price we paid. Bread seemed to be a normal standard white loaf. Cakes and scones were lovely though. Very relaxed atmosphere and we enjoyed the experience. A bit pricey though to be honest.

Setting ok and staff lovely. No choice of sandwiches. Food nice but not blown away by choice of cakes as I have in other places

Pleasant restaurant. Staff attitude v. good. Food was good with the exception of 'crab and baby prawn fishcakes' which had no discernible taste of crab just salt.
